Shadow of the Northern Lights (2025)

The brilliant third book in the bestselling Hildur series, soon to become a television show. As Christmas approaches on Icelands west coast, a corpse is found in a fish-farming pond. Detective Hildur Runarsdottir and trainee Jakob Johanson barely have time to begin their investigation before a second body is discovered, and soon a third. While working on the case, Hildur remains troubled by the disappearance of her sister. Meanwhile, Jakob travels to Finland for a hearing concerning his difficult custody battle, which leaves him facing serious consequences. As the death toll continues to rise, Hildur and Jakob race to catch the killer before they strike again. Translated by Kristian London. Satu Ramoes Hildur series has been praised as an atmospheric and original contribution to Nordic crime fiction, with Hildur Runarsdottir, a police detective who surfs Icelands icy waters, at its centre.
